Leadership is a process by which a manager can guide and influence the behavior and work of his team towards the achievement of specific objectives. It is the potential to influence the behavior of others.
 
Good leadership is based on ideas that are effectively communicated to others in a way that engages them to act as the leader wants them to act.
 
These are some of the characteristics of a good leader:
  • Trust: Trust helps to achieve effective communication, generate employee engagement and improve job performance.
  • Active listening: Generating effective communication includes knowing how to listen.
  • Delegate: An effective leader knows how to trust their collaborators by giving them specific responsibilities. Delegating is crucial to achieving organizational success.
  • Continuous improvement: as a good leader, and a good professional, they are constantly learning and in the process of continuous improvement.
The most job-satisfied people are those whose managers demonstrate inspiring leadership, promote open communication, and are always there to help them understand and feel the purpose of their work. One out of every two employees leave their job motivated by their boss's bad leadership.
